#Instagram Diary: Groote Post, Groote Delight
Monday 23 September, 2013, saw me heading out of the Mother City along the West Coast road and bouncing in a mini van through the veld towards the Darling Hills where, between the Kapokberg on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, lies a gem of a wine farm called Groote Post.
My Good Food & Wine Show experience in Instagram
I confess this was my first visit to the Good Food & Wine Show in a long time.
With more than 200 stands in the vast CTICC venue over four days from Thursday 23 to Sunday 26 May, 2013, I was amazed at the event's growth over the last few years. The stalls, some far more fabulous than others in both product and appearance, offered everything from food and wine to everything in between that relates to the home.

I spy with my big blue eyes a potential bullish flag setup on a 4-hour chart! USD/JPY is currently on a descending channel, but it looks like it could be a bullish flag given that the pair had been on an uptrend a few days ago. If that's the case, then you could wait for a pullback to the bottom of the channel if you want to go long, or you could also follow the overbought Stochastic signal and short now and just place your profit target near the 83.00 area.
AUD/JPY: 4-hourComdoll traders huddle up! AUD/JPY looks like it's encountering a support at the 87.50 area, which lines up nicely with the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level. Not only that, Stochastic is also in the oversold region! A profit target at the previous high is good enough if you're buying the Aussie, but make sure you place a stop loss somewhere below the Fib areas if you're playing the Fib support setup.
GBP/USD: 4-hourIs GBP/USD going back to its good ol' range? The pair is hitting a resistance at the 1.5900 handle, which is right near the top of the range. Stochastic is still in the middle ground though, so you might want to wait and see if 1.5900 holds for the pair. Anyone planning on trading this one?
Before you get carried away with all these chart patterns, remember that technical analysis is only half the story.
To get the complete picture and avoid getting blindsided by economic data, you also have to do your fundamental analysis.

In Reply to: Education and the CNS posted by Mike Weaver on November 30, 2009 at 5:55 am:
Hi Mike, My sincere apologies for the long delay in my answer. There are multiple parts. 1) Since RDs are licensed in 37 states, and CNS in fewer (I'm not sure how many, but may be as few as 13, as you said), what matters is If you live in a licensing state, and you want to see clients to treat disease, then you need a license. 2) Since the MS required for CNS cert exceeds the BS requirement for RD, CNS may bring more knowledge and credibility. But if you expect to get referrals from physicians or hospitals or health care facilities (the gatekeepers of referrals), they generally don't refer to CNS holders; they refer to RDs. 3) All ADA-accredited programs offer part-time options. That is, there is no obligation to be a full-time student. Many offer classes in late/afternoon or evenings, or offer classes held only once weekly, instead of 3x per week. I completed my requirements by going part time. You would have to review the programs at eatright.org, click on students, then accredited programs. Let me know if that helps, |

Are there any good primary schools in Hastings / St Leonards?
(7 Posts)We're thinking of relocating to Hastings / St Leonards. Which primary schools would you recommend?
I'd like DS to go to a non-religious state school, ideally rated Ofsted 2 or above - but all the ones I've seen so far seem to be rated 3.
Am I missing something by not considering schools rated 3? Ds is 3yo so this is all new to me!
Do you consider them good even though Ofsted doesn't?
My DD is only 2 but I have friends with children who attend St.Pauls in St.Leonards which comes highly recommended. It has connections with St.Matthews C of E church also in St.Leonards, but from what I hear, it's all very relaxed. Hastings Observer (Dec 23rd) mentions St.Pauls as reaching high levels in English and Maths at Ket Stage 2. Ofsted reports are handy but I have found speaking to parents far more helpful. Good luck.
Thanks for the reply, it's much appreciated
However I'm really not keen on DS going to a religious school, however "relaxed".
Unfortunately it does seem to be the religious schools which get the good ratings in Hastings! I'd rather compromise on location / size of house / other factors to move next to a good non-religious school, than send DS to a religious school. He's a 4th generation atheist! (Well if he decides that too when he's old enough, of course).
Eastbourne down the road has lots of non-religious state schools with great ratings for example. I'm hoping I can find at least 1 in Hastings / St Leonards!
Does anyone know anything about Blacklands, Elphinstone, Castledown or Dudly schools by any chance?
Blacklands, Silverdale and Little Ridge are all good non-religious schools. St Pauls and Dudley Infants also have good reputations but are religious afaik. Blacklands and Silverdale are quite large and both have good facilities, swimming pools, large playing fields, facilities for SEN, Silverdale in particular has large, purpose built modern classrooms. Little Ridge is smaller but still good. St Pauls didn't have great SATs results for boys, although the girls did ok, which might be a concern as you have a DS.
Elphinstone has improved a lot and has great facilities, but is located in a socially deprived part of town which puts some people off.
I don't know much about the other schools in town. Hollington doesn't have a great reputation, largely due to it's location I think.
Some of the village schools are supposed to be good too - Crowhurst, Guestling, Westfield etc.
Dudley is a fantastic school, it is non religious although the Head is a Christian. Both of my children have loved it there and I can speak very highly of the teachers and all of the children seem happy and polite by the time they leave. They do move on to All Saints juniors though which is C of E and much stricter, has some nice teachers though and as before lovely kids on the whole.
Castletown has been very troubled, is in a tricky catch ment area but has a new head, some fantastic staff so I hear and is improving. In my opinion Clive Vale, especially lower down the hill is a great area fir families to live in, St Leonards a bit more trendy and cool but trickier with schools.
I'm also moving to the area and can't really understand why so many of the schools don't seem to do well with Ofsted? Dudley seems to be monitored due to scoring 3's and a lot of the other schools are 3's or even 4's... It can't just be down to social problems, I live near Croydon at the moment and even some of the rougher bits have some excellent schools thanks to enthusiastic/proactive Heads etc. I can't afford to go private (and wouldn't really want to anyway).
I know that visiting schools will help but just wondered why so many of these schools don't appear to be doing well in the eyes of Ofsted. Any thoughts? And recommendations of course. We'll have to factor the school into the houses that we choose to view. St Paul's does look like it might be a good option - taking my 5 year old out of her lovely little school and don't want to mess up her happiness or progress!

A Long March-2FT1 carrier rocket loaded with Tiangong-1 unmanned space lab module blasts off from the launch pad at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China's Gansu Province, Sept. 29, 2011. (Xinhua/Wang Jianmin)
BEIJING, Sept. 30 (Xinhuanet) -- China's space dream took a step closer to reality as the Tiangong-1 module blasted off into the night sky on Thursday from the Gobi Desert.
The Long March II-F T1 rocket, under the unmanned module, Tiangong-1, lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at 9:16 pm as planned.
Ten minutes later Tiangong-1 separated from the rocket on its way to orbit, 350 kilometers above Earth. The module deployed its two solar panels, which provide power, at 9:28 pm.
At 9:39 pm, Chang Wanquan, chief commander of the manned space program, declared the launch a success as cheers and applause echoed around the command and control center in Beijing.
President Hu Jintao and other members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee went to the center to witness the launch.
Premier Wen Jiabao watched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center as the Long March rocket, carrying the space lab, blazed into the night sky.
The launch paves the way for China's first rendezvous and docking mission. An unmanned Shenzhou VIII spaceship will be launched in November to dock with Tiangong-1.
Two more missions are scheduled for next year and astronauts will board Tiangong-1, which can also function as a space lab.
If the mission succeeds, China will become the third country to master spacecraft rendezvous and docking technology following the then Soviet Union and the United States, experts said.
Wu Ping, the space program's spokeswoman, said that the ability to rendezvous and dock is vital for building a space station, which China has scheduled for around 2020.
"A space station cannot be launched in one shot. The modules must be launched separately and then assembled in space," she said.
China has invested 35 billion yuan ($5.47 billion) in total on its manned space program since 1992, when it was approved, she told China Daily.
The first phase, from 1992 to 2005, accounted for 20 billion yuan. During this period, China launched six Shenzhou spaceships to set up a system transporting astronauts between Earth and space.
In the second phase, from 2005, 15 billion yuan has been spent on projects, including Shenzhou VII and the first rendezvous and docking mission, she explained.
Zhou Jianping, chief designer of China's manned space program, said that the space lab and future space station provide a rare platform for conducting experiments that could lead to breakthroughs in the study of materials and biological pharmacy.
"Experiments made in the microgravity of space can lead to unexpected results," he said.
For example, gas and liquid are unable to mix on Earth, but in space they mix naturally, he said.
"The primary purpose of China's manned space station is to peacefully explore space, and through it, serve mankind," he said.
Some have questioned the participation of the military in the program. However, the military has experience in coordinating large-scale requirements that are vital for the program and their involvement reflects international norms, Ministry of National Defense spokesman Geng Yansheng said on Wednesday.
He reiterated that China is firmly opposed to the weaponization of space and the program is peaceful.
China is now in the second phase of its manned space program. The goal of the program, which has three steps, is to build a 60-ton space station around 2020.
The second phase focuses on mastering four key technologies for assembling a space station.
The first of these, extravehicular activity, was completed successfully in 2008 after Shenzhou VII was launched.
Rendezvous and docking is what is being experimented with. The third technology involves cargo spaceships ferrying supplies to a space lab. The fourth tackles problems concerning the prolonged sustaining of life on a space lab, especially recycling air and water.
Besides the manned space program, China launched two lunar orbiters in 2007 and 2010. It plans an unmanned lunar landing around 2013, and returning moon samples in 2017.

The problem is micro or surface reticulation of the film caused by the softening of the emulsion by the deveoper followed by temperature shocks in the process cycle, some films suffer more than others. Rodinal's high pH and specifically the hydroxide increase the potential problem.
The issue has been know about since the late 1920's or early 30's, it became more important with the rise of 35mm photography, I've BJPA article on reducing grain by wet mounting negatives on a glass slide for enlargement, something Ctein was still doingdecades later for the same reason.
In more recent years Kodak have done a lot of research to help minimise micro/surface reticulation. With papers it causes a mottling on the surface particulary noticeable with glossy papers, it'll happen with RC B&W and Colour papers as well as FB B&W, actually steaming removes it. With the advent of Digital minilabs and negative scanners, and also with high end scanning it became a greater issue, so Kodak altered the emulsion hardening to help eliminate the issues with their colour films making them more scanner friendly.
So some films suffer more than others EFKE will be about the worst due to having less hardening, Foma somewhere in between Ilford's films and most of Kodak's, some Fuji B&W emulsions are softer as well. Then it's a combination of softer emulsion, the developers effect on that emulsion and the care taken in the process cycle.

Little Big Soldier(2010)Set during the final years of the Warring States period of ancient China, a cowardly soldier of Liang, who has captured a heavily wounded young general of rival kingdom Wei through sheer luck. Hoping that he will be rewarded and possibly discharged from the army, the soldier, who longs for peace and freedom, takes the captive along on his way back home. Their initial animosity gradually turns into friendship as the odd couple encounters danger in the shape of refugees, nomads, and the Wei armies on their eventful journey. For more about Little Big Soldier and the Little Big Soldier Blu-ray release, see Little Big Soldier Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on August 16, 2011 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Director: Sheng Ding Starring: Jackie Chan, Leehom Wang, Rongguang Yu, Sung-jun Yoo » See full cast & crew Little Big Soldier Blu-ray, Video QualityLittle Big Soldier arrives on Blu-ray courtesy of Well Go USA with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 2.35:1. This is an often jaw droppingly gorgeous film, though it is one which filters much of its image, desaturating it at will and skewing a lot of the image toward the slate blue side of the spectrum. The location photography gives Little Big Soldier a truly epic sweep, and those locations bristle with fine detail throughout this high definition presentation. Depth of field in some of the outdoor shots across vast vistas is really stupendous. Close-ups are also filled to brim with excellent fine detail, from Chan's increasingly weathered face to some of the fine weavings which make up some of the costumes. While colors and contrast are variable due to the consistent filtering utilized, the overall film looks crisp and very precise. There is some minor crush in some of the darker scenes, notably the sequence in the cave about two thirds of the way through the film, but overall black levels and shadow detail are solid. Little Big Soldier Blu-ray, Audio QualityLittle Big Soldier has two lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 audio options, one in the original Mandarin and the other an English dub (for the record there are lossy Dolby Digital 2.0 versions of both of these tracks). There are some marked differences between the two DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 tracks beyond the obvious one of language. The English dub is noticeably more robust in terms of low end and LFE, with a much more aggressive mix that also (to my ears anyway) is mixed substantially louder than the original Mandarin mix. That said, you can't really go wrong with either of these lossless audio options. Both feature stellar fidelity and consistent and involving surround activity. Dynamic range is also really well handled, where everything from the whipping of wind through the battlefield (with attendant panning) to the caw of a bird to the much more boisterous sounds of hand to hand combat spill through the soundfield with exciting aplomb.

The original hyaluronic gel dermal filler. Restylane is a safe, smooth and skin-compatible hyaluronic acid gel dermal filler for wrinkles, folds, lips and under eye hollows.
With Restylane . . .
Instantly create a more youthful and energetic appearance by eliminating aging lines and wrinkles. Restylane is made of hyaluronic acid, a natural substance almost identical to that already existing in your body. Previous fillers were derived from animal sources and could cause delayed allergic response. Restylane is not animal-derived and therefore does not contain any animal proteins that could trigger an unpleasant reaction.
In the US, the FDA has approved Restylane for wrinkles and folds. It can also be used for frown lines, smile lines, as a fill for the area above the lips to minimize vertical lip lines, marionette lines, chin augmentation, brow asymmetry, drooping mouth corners, chicken pox and acne scars. Adding a touch of Restylane to the earlobes will return balance to the ear and eliminate elongated earlobes. Restylane is also an ideal dermal injection for filling in hollows under the eyes.
View the Restylane International Site for Before & After Photo Album
See Noticeably Natural Results with Restylane
Hyaluronic acid, the natural sugar that Restylane is made from, is virtually unmatched in hydrating the skin — resulting in increased smoothness, softening, elasticity and decreased facial creases. Hyaluronic acid molecules can hold 1000 times their weight in water, adding a maximal hydration effect to skin tissues. The way your skin looks is directly related to the way your skin is supported. As we age the natural support layers in the skin break down. This break down process results in the wrinkles we see in the mirror. Restylane becomes the support replacement, gently lifting wrinkles the same way your natural hyaluronic acid used to.
A very versatile filler, Restylane fills wrinkles, increases fullness and enhances the lips. It helps define the lip line and can even fill scars and plump up facial areas that have lost their youthful appearance.
Dr. Mani's long time experience as an ophthalmologist has given her particular expertise in improving the area around the eye with utmost safety. She routinely uses Restylane for filling under-eye hollows to lessen dark circles and help make the eye area much younger appearing. Another filler, Artefill, is available for permanent filling of under eye hollows.
Prior to the availability of suitable injectable dermal fillers, the only options for replacing lost volume under the eye was through surgical fat transfer. Restylane has become an easy and much less expensive option. UK's Cosmetic Surgery Today Article "Eyes Wide Open"
The injection procedure is simple and the results are immediate. It adds the volume lost during the aging process. Restylane stabilization technology helps maintain the cosmetic effect until the injected material is nearly gone — close to 6 months, with longer effect in the eye area.

Restylane is an excellent treatment for:
- Nasolabial Folds
- Crow's Feet
- Frown Lines
- Lipstick/Smoker's Lines
- Creating Lip Border Definition
- Marionette (Smile) Lines
- Other Vertical Cheek Lines
- Lip Augmentation
- Chin Augmentation
- Under Eye Hollows / Tear Troughs
- Stretched Earlobes (resultiing wrinkles and lines)
Is Restylane safe?
Since 1996 in the United States, and longer in Europe, Restylane has an outstanding safety profile. The bio-compatibility of Restylane eliminates the need for allergy testing. Minimal side effects include an initial post injection swelling that generally resolves in a few days. This initial swelling is caused by the "water pulling" effect hyaluronic acid has within the skin. Once the new balance is achieved, you'll have a natural looking and smooth correction of your wrinkles.
What is Restylane made of?
Restylane is made of non-animal-based hyaluronic acid (It was the first such filler of its kind approved in the U.S.). Hyaluronic acid, which already exists in the human body and is used to provide volume and fullness to the skin, provides a very soft "fill" which moves easily with your normal muscle activity.
The hyaluronic acid which makes up Restylane is a crystal-clear gel called NASHA, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. Restylane is both biodegradable and completely biocompatible. Restylane and Perlane are the only products to boast Non-Animal, Stabilized, Hyaluronic Acid (NASHA).
NASHA was the first stable, bio-degradable, non-animal hyaluronic acid available and is produced under carefully controlled conditions. Restylane and Perlane are both clear soft gels, which can be used individually or in combination with one another or other fillers such as Juvederm and the volumizer Radiesse. For superficial fine lines such as the vertical lips lines sometime referred to as smoker's lines, Cosmoderm or Cosmoplast may be layered on top of Restylane or other deeper-based dermal fillers. Note: Collagen fillers are no longer manufactured. We recommend hyaluronic gels for layering. Ask us about Belotero which should be available in the Fall of 2012. Belotero will be used superficially as collagen was in the past, making it a perfect filler for small lines that are hard to treat with other fillers.
How long will the benefits of my Restylane treatment last?
You can expect a correction of about 6 months, longer with touch ups and in some areas, Restylane lasts longer than others.

Switching to the flat full size trigger
I want to put the flat trigger on my 19/23/27 and was wondering what part I order and where to find it.. Thanks in advance!!
I do the same as I hate the grooved trigger. Worthless BATF.
I just buy trigger for the G17/22/37. Slaps right in place. Cat |
Yep. A G17 trigger w/ trigger bar will do. I like LoneWolf.
All of my GLOCKs have the smooth, "combat" trigger. |
+1 on the G17 trigger bar
:50cal: |
Glock's part number for the Gen4 G17/22 trigger is 3608.
Glock's part number for the Gen3 G17/22 trigger is 357. Beware, early G19's (pre EH serial numbers) need a special trigger, DO NOT use the #357 trigger in these early G19's! I always put the smooth faced triggers in my compact Glocks. Feels much better! |
Swaped my G21, G23 and G27 over to the smooth trigger. :supergrin:
are those glock 19s (early G19's pre EH serial numbers) Gen.2?
can all gen 3 G19s use the G17 trigger w. triggerbar without an issue? |
I tend to forget I upgraded my gen 3 G27 with a G17 smooth trigger. But love the feel. |
I've never owned a 19 or 26 that I didn't install a G17 trigger assembly in. Two gen 2.5 26s and I don't know, maybe a dozen gen 2 19s. I've only owned one gen 3 19 and that took one fine too. Cat |
thanks catshooter,
just asked, 'cause "vis35" stated that the G17 standard smooth trigger w. bar can not be used in some special production runs of G19s "Beware, early G19's (pre EH serial numbers) need a special trigger, DO NOT use the #357 trigger in these early G19's!" |
Mmm. Never heard of that before. I had a BX xxx series that I put one in with no issues. vis35, Can you give us more data about this? Where can we find out more about it? And what trigger would be used? Thanks. Cat |
Ecop on EBay has OEM smooth face triggers with free shipping
All my compact Glocks now sport fullsized smooth triggers and Glockmeister has great prices on them, trigger with bar. Fast easy replacement.
+ 3 on the glock 17 trigger bar.

'It's the best art collection no one has ever heard of," says curator Renée Klish of the Army Art Collection.

More copies of this ISBNThe Year of Dreaming Dangerouslyby Slavoj Zizek
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Call it the year of dreaming dangerously: 2011 caught the world off guard with a series of shattering events. While protesters in New York, Cairo, London, and Athens took to the streets in pursuit of emancipation, obscure destructive fantasies inspired the world's racist populists in places as far apart as Hungary and Arizona, achieving a horrific consummation in the actions of mass murderer Anders Breivik.
The subterranean work of dissatisfaction continues. Rage is building, and a new wave of revolts and disturbances will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 augur a new political reality. These are limited, distorted—sometimes even perverted—fragments of a utopian future lying dormant in the present. Review:"Renegade philosopher and cultural critic Zizek (Living in the End Times) again attempts to goad us from our comfortable political positions and rethink the philosophical and social meaning of 2011's major protest movements — including the Arab Spring and Occupy Wall Street. Drawing heavily on Marx and Hegel, Zizek probes the nature of these movements as they seek to fight the system of antagonistic capitalism without contributing to its enhanced functioning. For example, those involved in Occupy Wall Street, he observes, are 'reacting to a system in the process of gradually destroying itself' as they wake 'from a dream that has turned into a nightmare.' Similarly, despite the democratic elections forced by the Arab Spring, such protest movements have not flourished, and the cultural landscape is eerily bleak for the moment. Zizek argues that subterranean dissatisfaction still exists. We should view such movements as 'limited, distorted (sometimes even perverted) fragments of a utopian future' whose greater potential flickers in and out of dormancy. Zizek's staccato prose is often maddening as it jumps quickly from idea to idea, often repetitiously, without offering us a pause to ponder, but he's as provocative as ever, forcing us to confront contentious matters head-on without flinching."

Synopsis:The renowned philosopher finds a utopian future in worldwide protests.
Synopsis:2011 was the year of dreaming dangerously: we all witnessed (and participated in) a series of shattering events. Emancipatory dreams mobilized protesters in New York, on Tahrir Square, in London and Athens - and there were the obscure destructive dreams propelling the mass murderer Breivik and racist populists all around Europe, from the Netherlands to Hungary. The subterranean work of dissatisfaction is continuing: rage is accumulating and a new wave of revolts will follow. Why? Because the events of 2011 were signs from the future: we should analyze them as limited, distorted (sometimes even perverted) fragments of a utopian future which lies dormant in the present as its hidden potential.

IT is inevitable you will go a little mad when you have your first baby. From the moment they arrive your whole world is turned upside down. You are tired, physically uncomfortable and trying to keep a tiny human in tact on barely any sleep… However, if you feel low, hopeless or if staying in bed forever seems like a brilliant plan….then maybe speak to your GP.
Post Natal Illness (PNI) affects 1 in 10 women, yet many people still ignore or hide their symptoms afraid that they will be perceived as a bad mother or weak person.
I did this, and it turned out to be a terrible idea.
I am not a bad mother or a weak person, I just got sick. It was not my fault. It sometimes just happens.
My story…
IT had been two weeks since the birth of my first baby and I was sat in my pyjamas surrounded by vomit.
And not just of the baby variety.
I had thrown up over the coffee table and the baby had thrown up over the settee.
This is definitely not how I pictured motherhood.
I knew I would be tired, but I did not expect severe insomnia and a complete loss of appetite that meant I was unable to keep food down…hence the puke fest.
I could not think clearly. I was having anxiety attacks and I had hallucinated several times due to the lack of sleep. I was terrified I was going mad.
Which was all terribly inconvenient as I had a brand new baby to take care of.
My family were convinced I just needed a good night's sleep, friends thought I had the baby blues, but I knew the truth.
I was rubbish at babies.
After a stress-free water birth, when the midwife handed me my daughter for the first time. I wasn't filled with happiness. I was filled with sheer panic.
I was struck with the overwhelming feeling that I was NOT going to be able to look after this baby.
But what could I do? It was too late. I couldn't quit. Tell them I was not up to the job and go back to my old life. I wished I could put her back inside me, where I knew I could keep her safe.
So, I cried.
And cried some more.
Two weeks later, I was still crying and I still couldn't sleep. At all.
Is this normal?
Yes it is normal. If you are rubbish at babies.
I was so ashamed of myself. Some people would give anything to have a beautiful new baby and here I was acting like it was the end of the world.
I felt anxious about everything. I worried that our neighbours (who were perfectly nice) would attack the baby if she cried too loudly.
The thought of leaving the house filled me with fear.
What if someone tries to hurt my baby? Snatch her from the pram. What if I can't stop them? What if I pass out and my baby is left alone?
I did not want to see or talk to anyone.
People will see that I am rubbish at babies. People will see that I am a stupid, ungrateful mother who can't cope.
Any noise seemed to be magnified tenfold. The baby crying, people talking, or the cot mobile. I developed an irrational fear of any toy that made a noise. Any sound above a whisper would bring on a panic attack. I was constantly fuzzy-headed, as if I wasn't really there. I felt like an alien roaming a world in which I did not belong.
I felt disconnected from everyone around me. Even my baby.
Everyone hates me and I don't blame them. I hate me. I have ruined this magical time for everyone.
'Is this normal?' I asked the health visitor. 'Or am I going mad?'
She told me there was a very good chance I had post-natal depression and advised me to go and see the GP.
"I haven't got post natal depression", I told her. "I am just rubbish at babies."
'You have post natal depression', the doctor explained.
She wanted to give me anti-depressants. I asked for sleeping pills convinced that sleep would make everything ok.
It didn't.
So I went back to the GP. I was given anti-depressants and was referred to a therapist.
However, my clouded mind was telling me I should not take the pills. I was worried about the drugs being passed into my breast milk (despite being assured that this was safe) and I still felt I didn't need them. You could not cure being a rubbish person. You could not cure being weak. So after a week I came off them.
Anyway, if I was clinically depressed I wouldn't be able to get out of bed, would I?
The next day I couldn't get out of bed.
I was eating next to nothing. I was still unable to sleep and having panic attacks. So I felt the best thing to do was stay in bed. I had everything I needed to look after a baby right here. Nappies and milk. Sorted. Plus I might even fall asleep – eventually.
Despite this new plan to hide in the bedroom, I still did not believe I was ill. But I knew I couldn't go on like this.
I was tired of being a burden to everyone. I saw the way they looked at me with disappointment in their eyes. I wanted them to think I was happy. Good at being a mum. Coping well and in love with motherhood.
So I had a brilliant idea.
I would simply pretend to be ok.
The down side to this plan was that it would probably mean getting out of bed.
From that day on I was determined to try to get back some physical strength. We went to stay with my parents. I was advised to give up breastfeeding. So I did – against my instincts. My daughter had taken to it straight away and I felt it was the one thing I hadn't failed at.
For the next few weeks I lived on small portions of Weetabix and potatoes with cheese until gradually I found I could eat without throwing up.
I was still barely sleeping. My baby woke up a lot anyway and I had bouts of insomnia. My nights were filled with silent tears, milk and quiet despair. But as soon as I was physically better and capable of looking after my baby, I went home.
To the outside world I may have seemed just fine, but inside I felt nothing but pain. My secret pain.
I fed, changed, held my daughter but I was doing all of this under a black cloud. I felt numb. I didn't know who I was any more. I believed I was getting it all wrong. I loved my baby, but I felt no joy in being a mother. Just guilt about being unhappy, stress and self-hatred.
But the thing I discovered about secret pain. The longer you keep it a secret, the more it hurts.
So I did eventually go back to the doctor and got referred to an amazing therapist from Let's Talk, Well-Being , who got me to finally admit that I was in fact very ill. I also was lucky enough to have support from Home-Start Mothers In Mind (MIMS) who support mums with Post Natal Illness. It was only then, that the dark cloud slowly, slowly began to lift.
To the amazement of my health visitor, I managed to breastfeed again and got my milk supply back up. A few weeks of sore nipples and we were back in the boob milk business.
I began Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and eventually my symptoms improved. It was a long and often hard process but it worked. I was determined to get better for my baby and I did. I just wish I had got help sooner.
I even had another baby to celebrate. And despite being totally prepared for it this time, I did NOT get Post Natal Depression after giving birth. In fact, I was happier than ever because I got to enjoy being a mum to a new baby for the first time…
So the good news is…
They say what doesn't break you makes you stronger and due to overcoming PND I feel stronger than ever. The black cloud never quite leaves you. I still have bad days. But so do most parents of young children. Especially the sleep-deprived parents of babies who do not sleep! But the difference is, I know they will pass.
I am rubbish at producing babies who sleep. I am rubbish at getting to morning play groups on time. I am rubbish at making stuff out of cardboard boxes. I am rubbish at keeping my house tidy and making homemade baby food, but that doesn't matter. Because I just have to look at my smiling, happy children to know that I am definitely not rubbish at babies.
